Quest Power Battery Solution Named edie Awards Finalist

Quest Power, the battery division of Quest Medical, was named a finalist for Renewable Energy Project of the Year at the edie Energy & Tech Awards, held in London on 16 October 2026. The recognition celebrates its work alongside technology partners AlphaESS UK and Immersa to develop an off-grid battery solution for mobile CT and MRI scanners.

Driven by a commitment to providing customers with greener, lower-carbon power, the system reduces reliance on traditional diesel generators. Batteries supply power for scanning operations, with generators required only for limited periods to recharge the units.

This approach delivers a significant reduction in diesel consumption, carbon emissions and fuel costs. Quieter operation also helps minimise noise disturbance for residents living near mobile scanner sites.

Developed through an extensive research and development programme, the solution has undergone field trials across scanners from multiple manufacturers and has been proven in operation over the past year.

“Reaching the final alongside some of the UK’s leading energy projects is a real endorsement of what our team and partners have achieved,” said Mike Lord, Commercial Director at Quest Medical. “Mobile CT and MRI is vital to widening access to diagnosis, including key programmes such as Lung Cancer Screening, and we can now deliver it with far less diesel, carbon and noise.”

The project reinforces Quest Power’s commitment to innovation, helping make mobile diagnostic services more sustainable without compromising reliable care.
